Babygirl Reviews
I actually liked it! It has gotten some pretty negative reviews, but I found it interesting.
Ok, I tried, I looked forward to watching it. Can't believe she would put up with his arrogance. What's wrong with that woman? He's nothing special. I bailed out of the movie.
He treated her like she was a dog, like all women should be treated.
Absolutely beyond belief that a young, good looking man would be attracted and enter into an erotic liaison with a skeletal looking, saggy neck senior woman which is what Nicole Kidman is despite all her Botox, facelifts etc Found this to be soft porn and totally unbelievable Definitely has to be one of the worst films I’ve ever seen Time for Ms Kidman to accept that she’s not a sexually attractive young woman any longer
Babygirl (2024) is a major misfire. Marketed as an "erotic thriller," it fails to deliver on both fronts, offering instead a sluggish and disconnected plot with awkward performances. Nicole Kidman’s portrayal of Romy feels unconvincing, and the lack of chemistry between her and Harris Dickinson makes their dynamic painfully forced. The film drags, never building any real tension or excitement. Ultimately, Babygirl is a missed opportunity that leaves viewers frustrated and unimpressed.
Some says it was horrible, some finds it "sexy", some finds it "kinky". It probably is all of it. But what intrigued me more is the family dynamics vs female sexuality...why is that we, women are judged so harshly for our fantasies? Why do we feel ashamed by our dark desires? Why do we have to be judged at all? Why having family and husband often means end of weird, kinky, dirty sex? I think as society we asks wrong questions. She loved her husband, and he loved her. They were great together, but hardly ever one person can GIVEITALL...it probably works better if you put a few people together: husband. Friend, lover... if you were lucky enough to find it in one men-congrats but the truth is-it hardly ever happens to the rest of us. Why we have society of ashamed, hungry and scared people? Why and when did we convinced each other that you absolutely MUST have one and only one person for the rest of your life? We created unrealistic expectations of ourselves and when they fall on our heads we feel like biggest looser and failure. We beg to be forgiven. But for what exactly? She wanted to be SEEN. She wanted to feel accepted for what she wanted, even though she was scared to admit what it is, that she really wanted...we carry in ourselves the need for love, for acceptance but also need for punishment, humiliation, pain...these are blurred together. Most of us never experiments with the hidden side of our inner urges, those few who dose-get to meet antother unknown side of themselves. I think what we should do, is be more open, do not judge and most importantly-stop putting ourselves unto position of failure-like lifelong marriages.
Dull, boring in every way.
Apple sold me this movie as a thriller. I have no words. My favorite part was the end. Sorry.
Script was lacking, not one of Nicole's best. I feel it needed more background and character development.
Never before felt such a desire to be single forever. Otherwise cringe
Quite novel if the intention was to make it an awkward critique of the extended session scenes we see in films now, but it seems to be genuine. Also Kidnan looking like a reanimated corpse doesn't help the realism. Some funny moments.
I watched babygirl last night and can’t get it out of my head. It was awkward, it was raw, it was funny, it was real, it was sexy as hell. Nicole did a fabulous job showing the layers of emotions as her character flirts with, denies herself, and then gives into her affair. Harris and Nicole’s chemistry is off the charts. This isn’t a movie about female empowerment, it’s a movie about being seen and then giving into a deepest secret desire after being told “it’s ok” even when the character knows- it really probably isn’t. The complex characters and their dynamics felt real as they often left me wanting to know “what did that person mean by that? What happens next.” Similar feelings I remember feeling when trying to parse out the first stage of my own new and daring relationships when young. A must see!
Nicole Kidman is so convincing here, professional. The movie itself is quite wired.
What could have been a suspenseful and exciting movie, was taken and turned into an absolute joke. The characters were uninteresting and flat. The storyline was choppy and confusing. The dialogue was laughable and childish. Even the spice was flat. I found myself laughing at serious parts and cringing anytime the male lead tried to be dominant. Read a book if you want to explore this kink. This is a movie making fun of the entire genre and lifestyle.
Time I will never get back. What a complete waste and shocking that Nicole Kidman would lower herself to such trash
What even are power dynamics? Lush aesthetics (you know that A24 look), gorgeous soundtrack, and sexier than it probably should be.
The movie tries to find itself and then loses itself and somehow it finds itself. If you can understand my post then you'll understand this movie...
it was very interesting and cool
Mesmerising performances
Uhm…yes It was very sexy and maybe a little weird but…yes a million times yes
